The Rate of Contamination Is Going Down for Most Chicken Products

Percentage of Salmonella–positive samples at slaughter or retail

Solid lines represent the linear trends for each product.

Note: FSIS started sampling and testing chicken parts for Salmonella in 2015 as performance standards for this product category were implemented. The agency did not test any ground chicken products in 2014; therefore, no data is available.
